Hi,

I'm from Spain, usually I dont have problem reading in English, but I dont know the meaning of the listed awards from a pic I saw of winterball league, I searched it in google it but I didnt found nothing:

- Golden Phoenix award
- Flashiest strip (if you look in a dictionary is a hell choose a meaning)

Sorry for the silly question but the doubt was corrupting me :P

Hi Depende

This is speculation as I haven't seen any more than the picture you linked but my best guess:

Flashiest Strip = Best Painted (Strip is British Slang for Team Uniform)

Golden Phoenix = Worst Player / Wooden Spoon (I am NOT sure about this. It could also mean best recovery - starting the league badly but getting better as you go. This is by no means obvious.)

I am a native British English speaker, living in the US and even I am not sure about these so don't blame your english!
